We're Home!!!!!!

Wow - we had a great time in Taiwan, but it is good to be home!! We ended up getting Billi's passport a day early so we left on a Thursday night flight home instead of Friday - it feels so good to have this extra day of rest in our own home before Chad and Ashton have to go back to work / school on Monday. For our last day in Taiwan we picked up Billi's passport at AIT and then shopped and had lunch and walked around with the kids until we headed to the airport around 7pm for our 12am flight. The flight went fine, Billi was SO excited to fly on an airplane, but about two minute after the plane boarded, she fell right to sleep and slept most of the flight. We got home about 7pm Thursday and stayed up with the kids until about 1:30 in the morning, but it was such a great night. Our friends came over and Billi was able to play with their daughter Sofia and open a lot of presents people had given her, it was such a great first night. It sounds strange, but I I really feel like being in our home and getting here gives Billi a sense of finality about starting her new life. Her behavior has been great, in Taiwan we had some issues with pulling hair and biting, but mainly with Chad - I think she thinks he is a big play toy, but we're working on being gentle and since we have been home she has really been doing awesome. I realize we have only been home a short time, but I can already see that these are minor behavior things that can be fixed with time. This morning the kids slept until 11am and right now Chad is trying to feed Billi the eighty million things he made for breakfast, fish, two kinds of porridge, eggs, bamboo shoots......she is really happy this morning......life is good! I'll post pictures later when we have a moment...
